Grip glove

Abstract

A glove and auxiliary grip including a protuberance on a grip strap to provide a bearing surface against a cylindrical object which exerts a force on a user. The glove includes universally adjustable separable fasteners to position the glove on a hand of the user and an adjustable wrist strap to provide a secure connection between auxiliary grip and the stronger arm muscles of the user.

I claim: 
     
       1. The combination of a glove and auxiliary grip for grasping a cylindrical object exerting a pulling force on a user comprising: said glove having an upperside and an underside;   a palm section forming a covering for the palm of the hand of the user and extending from the fingers to the heel of the hand of the user;   a pair of tab panels, one of each of said pair being integrally connected to said palm section, said tab panels including an adjustable tab panel separable fastener for connecting said panels together, said tab panels overlaying each other and forming a backhand portion of the glove when in place on the hand of a user;   a wrist band connected to said palm section adjacent the heel of a hand when worn; said wrist band including an adjustable wrist band separable fastener for securing the wrist band around the user's wrist;   a wrist strap having a fixed end secured to said wrist band and a free end;   a wrist strap separable fastener including a separable fastener element connected adjacent said fixed end of said wrist strap and a complimentary separable fastener element connected to said free end of said wrist strap, whereby said wrist strap is wrapped around and overlays said wrist band to provide a rigid connection to a user's wrist; and,   an auxiliary grip including a grip strap having one end fixed to said wrist strap and a free end extending longitudinally proximate a midline of said palm section, said free end terminating in a protuberance forming a bearing surface for said cylindrical object exerting a pulling force.   
     
     
       2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said grip strap includes a cylindrical sleeve formed on the free end thereof; said protuberance being sized to be maintained in said cylindrical sleeve. 
     
     
       3. The combination of claim 1 further including a D-ring attached to said fixed end of said wrist strap;, said free end of said wrist strap structured to pass through said D-ring and fold back upon itself to adjustably join said wrist strap separable fasteners. 
     
     
       4. The combination of claim 1 wherein said tab panel separable fastener includes a first separable fastener element on an upperside of one of said pair of tab panels and a second separable fastener element on an underside of a second said pair of tab panels whereby said tab panels may be adjustably secured to each other. 
     
     
       5. The combination of claim 1 wherein said wrist band separable fastener includes a first separable fastener element connected to one end of said wrist band and a second complementary separable fastener element strap having a fixed end connected to a second opposite end of said wrist band and a free end for connection to said first separable fastener element. 
     
     
       6. The combination of claim 1 wherein said protuberances is a cylindrical rod and said grip strap further includes a sleeve formed on said free end thereof; said cylindrical rod being maintained in said sleeve. 
     
     
       7. The combination of claim 1 further including a grip strap separable fastener having a first separable fastener element adjacent said free end of said grip strap and a second complementary separable fastener element formed on said wrist strap whereby said grip strap may be secured to said wrist strap away from said palm section. 
     
     
       8. The combination of claim 7 wherein said separable fasteners are formed with at least one hook type separable fastener element and at least one complimentary loop type separable fastener element. 
     
     
       9. The combination of claim 1 wherein said glove is fingerless and thumbless. 
     
     
       10. The combination of claim 9 further including a thumb hole formed between said palm section and one of said pair of tab panels. 
     
     
       11. The combination of claim 1 further including a pad formed on said palm section for protecting a user's hand from the pulling force of said cylindrical object. 
     
     
       12. The combination of claim 1 further including a hump at a finger end of the palm section covering first finger joints of the hand of the user. 
     
     
       13. The combination of claim 1 wherein said auxiliary grip strap includes an auxiliary grip strap separable fastener element and said wrist strap includes a complementary auxiliary grip strap separable fastener element whereby said auxiliary grip strap may be secured to the wrist strap away from the palm section when it is not in use.
